Man Bites Dog (1992)
(C'est arrivé près de chez vous)
Country: BEL
Technical: bw 96m
Director: Rémy Belvaux, André Bonzel, Benoît Poelvoorde
Cast: Benoît Poelvoorde, Jacqueline Poelvoorde-Pappaert, Nelly Pappaert
Synopsis:
A portrait of a serial killer by a documentary film crew leads to their participation in and submission to his whims.
Review:
The allegory is clear: we become so affected by seeing violence on screen that we become the tools of it rather than mere spectators. The humour is Gallic black but particularly unsettling in the articulacy of its central character.
